really great place, loved it. Great food and drinks, service was great, will go back soon

If you are looking for a beautiful patio and great beer only, this place is perfect. I have been to Schlafly twice the past 2 months. The first visit I thought was a fluke, but after my second visit confirmed it, the food has taken a substantial down grade. Schlafly used to pride themselves on using fresh and local ingredients for the best dishes. They previously rivaled every other restaurant in the St. Louis food scene. I had the fish and chips. The fish was significantly over cooked and dry and the fries were soggy and limp. When I returned, I had the prosciutto pizza. Somehow, the meat was over cooked and the pizza was significantly undercooked and completely lacked flavor. It was so disappointing. I do love Schlafly for the fabulous beer and patio, but I would not recommend eating here. read more

I used to love eating here. My husband would always get the bison burger and I'd get the pulled pork. We were extremely disappointed with our last visit. Both those items were not on the menu. We decided to order the nachos and beer bread. Sadly they were out of the beer bread. Service was extremely slow, our waitress walked past us 10 times before realizing we were in her section. It took a very long time to get our nachos and they arrived cold. The patio was lovely and beer was terrific as always. If they get their service together and bring back some of the older menu selections, it would be perfect. Not sure if they are under new management or what happened. Will be giving them another chance though. read more

Schlafly Bottleworks - Beer flight - Brewpubs Near Me - Maplewood, Missouri

For a brewery that crafts some of the very best suds to come out of the Midwest, there is certainly some work to be done on their menu. A buddy and I ordered the smoked wings to share, and a couple of sandwiches as our main entrees. The wings were plump, well-cooked, but were sauced in an odd honey-mustard glaze that was a bit over-powering. Candidly, the flavor grew on me, and I had no complaints with how they were prepared, but it's not something I'll find myself ordering again. For the main course, I settled on a house favorite: a chicken sandwich, fried in pretzel dough rather than a traditional batter. In concept, it sounds amazing. In execution...not so much. It definitely tasted pretzel-y (not a word), but completely lacked any seasoning. A bit of salt would have gone a long way in preparation. I'll humbly recognize that I'm aware that expectations for food shouldn't be so high at a place known more for hoppy adult sodas, but with such a loyal following & crowds nearly every night of the week, it makes sense that Bottleworks should have some more impressive cuisine to go with what's on tap. I'll certainly be back, in hopes of having my mind changed, but it may take a few Pale Ales to help me do so. read more

Schlafly Bottleworks - Smoked wings, served with a sun-dried tomato ranch - Brewpubs Near Me - Maplewood, Missouri

They have the best pumpkin beer around and the patio is great! The food menu is small but good.

A friend and I stopped in for an early dinner on a Saturday and were sat in the bar area. We were greeted almost immediately by a server/bartender who had a terrible attitude and was super passive aggressive. We asked if we could have a few mins to look at the menu before ordering and he proceeded to not come back for over 15 mins. We were finally able to order just as the place begin to fill up. After ordering it took about 35 mins to get our food. I got the veggie burger and it tasted awful and was basically just mush. I didn't even finish half of it. My friend faired a little better and said his food was just ok. The beer was good but a lot of the options weren't in stock. The best thing about our experience was the french fries. I have been to 2 other Schlafly locations and had great experiences so it doesn't sully me opinion about Schlafly on the whole, just this location. Will not return. read more

Great location in Maplewood and even if their beer isn't your thing, the staff are great as the prices reasonable. It's also a large space, with a dining room, taproom and a large patio area with a porch that has plenty of shade and fans. read more

Really great food. Tasty, and when you speak to the employees about your order or about operations, they are pleasant and put the customer first. read more

Really debated between 3 and 4 stars. The beer is of course great and lots of options. The food (minus the amazing pretzels and cheese) was all very disappointing. I think I had 1 bite of my burger and the kids had zero interest in the pizza. I have heard the food has gone downhill and this has proved to be true for us. Service was okay. Not terrible but considering how slow it was, it took awhile for things. Sadly we would not be back. read more

Went to the Schlafly Full Moon Festival last night and had a lot of fun, particularly for a free festival. There were a lot of people there but it was still possible to move around and we were still able to get beer. During the festival, there was a chili cook off. Sadly by the time we got to it (which was still pretty early), one of chili's was already finished so we only got to try 4 out of 5. They ones we tried were still very good and flavorful, with my favorite one being from Pastarilla/Sardilla. As always schlafly's beer selection was very good. I got the Coffee Stout, which has very good coffee flavor. I was hoping however that they would have Pumpkin Stout as one of their offerings, but unfortunately they did not. The other food available including pork sandwiches with 2 sides, unfortunately the line for it was very long so we did not wait. read more

Let me start this off by saying that I've been here in the past and had a very pleasant experience. Not this time, though, and I'll come to why shortly. First of all, it was probably slightly busier than normal due to the Winter Classic. Okay, I get that. But this entire visit was completely fumbled by the staff here, and I was ready to leave almost as soon as we sat down. No one came by to take our drink order. We sat in the direct path of every server in the place (the kitchen entrance was literally one table behind us, so they constantly whizzed by us as breakneck speed), yet waited over 10 minutes just for a Coke and a beer sampler. For the appetizer, we ordered the pale ale beer bread, which came with a blue cheese cream cheese and bacon jam. YUM. My only complaint is that the bread was totally soaked in grease. The cream cheese kinda slid off, but whatever. I made it work. The beer sampler was great, too. We tried a variety of stouts, ales and ciders. My wife loved the double bean ale, and their coffee stout is always on point. For 5 small beers for $10, that's pretty much a steal. The food, though... I ordered the pulled pork sandwich with potato wedges. Notice that I said wedges, as in plural? Well, I got five. FIVE WEDGES. And one was so big, I held it in my hand and pretended to be on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The sandwich was so cold, I didn't even eat it, and the fries were hotter than the surface of the sun. I took the sandwich home, hoping to heat it up later. My wife got the apple and bacon pizza, if you could call it that. She asked for blue cheese on the side, not knowing that it wouldn't come with cheese otherwise. You know, like a normal pizza. And it didn't have some apple, it had, like, a whole apple. Like giant slices over a measly amount of bacon. It was sad, and it made me sad. I got my Coke refilled ONCE and that's only because Mary pulled a staff member aside to ask her for it. I felt bad because it wasn't her table, but our server was nowhere to be seen. My hopes were high, but Schlaflys dashed them. I was planning on taking a dessert home, too, which makes me angriest of all! read more

Schlafly Bottleworks - WORLD'S LARGEST POTATO WEDGE - Brewpubs Near Me - Maplewood, Missouri

We had breakfast & brews here a while back & enjoyed both. There may be a substantial wait, as it is VERY popular. I thought service was nice and price was reasonable for the quality. I already love Schlafly beers, so obviously this definitely hit the spot. read more

Wednesday nights are farmers markets, we LOVE to come and check it out, then grab a beer after. The location is super easy to get to with great parking space. The facilities are adorable and extremely welcoming. I can't speak on the food although I've heard good things, but always great beers on tap and live music to listen to. I'll have to come check it out on an off night but I'm a big fan. read more

Finally made it! The outside is worth stopping for. You can see where they brew their yummy beer as you pull in the parking lot. To the left of the building it looks like there's a place for covered outdoor seating. We went at 5:30 and got seated right away. Great selection of beers! Out table got the Christmas beer, white lager, hard cider and milk chocolate beers. All of which were great! The white lager was excellent! Wish I would have had a second. I ordered the burger and potato wedges. This has to be one of the best burgers in the Lou. Families were there so don't worry about that. Go and enjoy for a family dinner! read more

I'm St. Louis visiting the different breweries and after visiting a very nice brewery before this one we were disappointed. Approached the bar with 2 bar tenders who basically could give 2 shits we were even there. Stood there for a very long time while they had a conversation, never greeted us. Finally I waved my arms at them and asked for a beer menu. And even then it felt uncomfortable, I was interrupting their convo. The flight of beers we ordered were of course good, but we didn't stay long. read more

Schlafly Bottleworks - Came to try a flight of beers! - Brewpubs Near Me - Maplewood, Missouri

Big space. I love the little art festivals they host in their giant parking lot. Really casual and good for giant groups.

I was in town for the weekend and completely drove out of the way to make sure I could grab a Pumpkin Ale on tap while I was in the vicinity. You just can't beat the crisp and delicious flavor of drinking a fresh Pumpkin Ale 50 feet away from where it was brewed. THEN I made the epic decision to order some beer bread with bacon jam and blue cheese spread. It was so delicious that I seriously considered cancelling my entrée order and getting another order of the beer bread but I felt like that might be awkward but now as I'm sitting here salivating I seriously wish I had. read more

We stopped in for a drink and a snack. We weren't upset with the drinks or the snacks! I had the winter haze IPA and it was great! We ordered two apps, Buffalo cauliflower and the pretzels. My only complaint was the cheese that came with the pretzels. The flavor was strange as was the texture. We will be back but not for the pretzels. read more

Really great patio, food, beer selection but our waitress was kind of rude and the service was not good, took a long time to get drinks and food out. When we sat down we got waters then got two flights, when one of us was deciding on the last beer for the flight the waitress was tapping her pen and seeming very annoyed about having to wait a few seconds, didn't like that. Although the service was not the greatest the food was really good, highly recommend the roasted cauliflower and spinach artichoke dip! This place is a fun environment to be in and has a good patio so will probably be going back. read more

As the first craft brewery in A-B town it breaks my heart to give this review but the Schlafly team needs to go their game in a growing craft beer scene. In past experience the downtown location has better food but after the experience at Maplewood I'm not willing to try. Beer is pretty solid 4 stars. Standouts - Kolsch, raspberry Hefeweizen, coffee stout. Food is full stop awful. 1 star. We got nachos - completely tasteless. Pizza - flimsy crust, meh toppings. Toasted ravioli - sauce pretty watery and tasteless. TRavs had reasonable filling so not as horrifying as the nachos. Baked goat cheese with toast - probably the best of the bunch but expectations were pretty low at that point. The bar area smells and always feels slightly dirty. 2 stars for the bar. Music - 4-5 stars. Nice addition when not too loud. Come on Schlafly. Pick up your game. read more

My primary reason for coming to Schlafly Bottleworks is for late-night patio drinking. Oh yeah, and the pretzel... Okay, I lied. Let's try that again. "My primary reason for coming to Schlafly Bottleworks is for late-night pretzel eating." I'm not even joking. I consider myself one of the most esteemed soft-pretzel tasters in the entire world. Schlafly is no stranger to the art of making the perfect hot pretzel. With each order you get 3 long sticks that are hot, golden brown (from buttuh), and lightly salted. They melt in your mouth. Now the one thing about the soft pretzels that isn't to great is the "cheese." I don't even think it's cheese. It's just melted stuff. But it doesn't even matter because the pretzel has so much flavor. Eat it old-school. It pairs well with every beer that they have ever brewed. Can't wait to come back for more pretzels! read more

Schlafly Bottleworks - Happy National Beer Day! - Brewpubs Near Me - Maplewood, Missouri

I love Schlafly Bottleworks. I've had so many great evenings here and it seems to get better every single time! I usually don't step foot into the dining area... grabbing a seat in the bar area or on the patio is usually the way to go. There's always a lively crowd, and although you have to order everything from the bar, you have full access to the entire beer list and menu. As far as the beer goes, I'm not an expert and I like things on the lighter side. Their raspberry hef and pumpkin pie cider are my favorites, but it's fun to try new drinks too. Service as the bar is always beyond friendly and you can tell everyone's just really happy to be there. How can you beat that? As far as the food goes, sometimes I am in the mood for appetizers, in which case I go straight for the beer bread (with cheddar chive butter and blue cream cheese) or the bison nachos (made with pepperjack cheese sauce, black beans, sour cream & salsa.) The goat cheese dip is always a reliable choice, too... everything is well-made and flavorful. When I'm starving, the pulled pork sandwich is always my go-to! It comes with pale ale barbeque sauce and slaw on top -- it's as good as it sounds. For me, this is another one of those spots that just make me proud to live in St. Louis. Grab some dinner and drinks here, then wander down the street to a few other Maplewood bars! read more

This is apparently the mothership of craft brews here in the LOU....the biggest and most expansive brewery I have been to since moving and I took the free tour. I need to go back...I love the gift store and options of sitting in a bar environment or going outside or hanging....Big Booming Place with food and drinking options. I took the free tour and enjoyed learning a little about the craft and mircro brewery history. I do think they could have been a little more generous with the beer samples and would have liked to try more.... The kid doing the tour seemed a little young in my opinion and I guess I'm just being hard because I was with three other people and they all thought he did a good job---but I'm a people person and love love love making things fun and the tour could stand to be a but more interactive and conversational and less preachy teachy and stingy with the beer. Will I go back---hell yeah but I will skip the tour... read more

Great food, great service, the beer we tried was well balanced. All the staff was friendly and welcoming, this is a great choice for if you are traveling through St. Louis. read more

I gotta say, I hate beer and I was dragged on this tour twice now, but my friends enjoy it so much I just can't give it a low rating. This is a really nice local brewery and very laid-back, perfect for tourists to StL. Big plus that they provide closed-toed shoes since you need them to go on the tour and in the summer, I got nothing but flippie floppies! The tour is very informative and not too painful, and they give plenty of free samples. I never take any of them but on this particular trip I tried the raspberry hefeweizen and FINALLY discovered a beer I enjoy! My friends liked it so much they sat at the bar after and bought a whole 'nother sampler. I'm glad :) As for me, I actually went and purchased a six-pack of the raspberry hefeweizen and got through about half of one before I got sick of it so thank you, Schlafly, for bringing me this far. read more

I love Schlafly beer. I would be surprised if you couldn't find a beer you didn't like from Schlafly. They have a very large variety of their own brews, and I don't know if I've really ever had a bad one. I'm from Milwaukee so I'm not adding any St. Louis local brewery bias to my opinion. You can buy their bottled beer for pretty cheap in the merch section, where they also have some schlafly apparel...including their awesome looking bike jerseys. They also serve food and give tours of the facility, but I still have yet to try either of those. I usually just come here for the beer. For the bar, you're likely to find Schlafly beer on tap that isn't currently available in stores. They have bands play sometimes on the weekends and a large outdoor patio for hanging out. I also went to the repeal of prohibition beer festival, which was held in their parking lot, and a great way to spend an afternoon. I guess the only reason to dock this place a star is that in the cold months, like when it is REAAAALLY cold, the space indoors is small, so it gets very crowded, very quickly. If it's not too bad out, they do have heat lamps out on the patio, and I sat comfortably out there in late December. read more

Sticky toffee pudding! That's why we come. The rest of the good is good too and so is the beer-of course. Good place for a good time and good meal. read more

Officially my family's favorite place. I say that now because I have discovered just how kid-friendly this restaurant is. In the past, it was my favorite because it kicked out awesome beer and great food. However, over the last year, they have found a warm and fuzzy spot in my heart. My wife and I wanted to take our baby out to see how she did at a restaurant. We did test runs at fast food joints, but never to an actual place where tips are involved. Let me tell you, I never noticed just how many babies are brought to this place. Maybe it's always been like that, but it's never been something that has stuck out. That afternoon, I counted 6 other tables that had infants. Awesome. But here was the greatest thing: we asked our server if we could have some hot water for a bottle, and the guy has the wherewithal to search for a big glass that would fit a bottle, and bring out the perfect hot water to heat it up. A small detail, but one that stood out in my mind. Excellent service. The food was awesome, too. But that's a given. read more

For the bottom line, please go to the final line of this review. For the vignette on soup in my life, please read on. One cold, rainy December morning last year, my friend and I went out for our monthly Fabulous Feast. It was her turn to pick the location, and she went with Schlafly so we could do some holiday shopping in Maplewood after we ate. I wasn't exactly excited, but the point of a Fabulous Feast is to try new things, or get our dining companion to try new things, so I raised no objection. It's just that I don't like beer and I usually order grilled cheese when I go to American food-serving restaurants because I'm a picky vegetarian. Strict vegetarians read labels when purchasing food and have to be able to trust restaurants--and servers--when they go out to eat. Many servers don't think like vegetarians, and if their employers don't teach them to do so, the customer might end up eating something he or she doesn't want to eat. Example: a "vegetarian" salad with dressing containing fish. Another example is that many soups are made from beef or chicken stock. This is heartbreaking for most vegetarians I know. The presence of animal-derived stock makes a likely-tasty soup, such as Bread Co's Broccoli Cheddar and French Onion soups, inedible. Back to the Fabulous Feast: the weather called for soup, which I consider the most romantic meal (in the 19th century literature romantic way, not the Danielle Steele romantic way. The "appropriate to eat before holiday shopping at independent stores" way). Beer cheese soup was on the menu, and we were at a brewery, so it seemed doubly appropriate. I'd seen beer cheese soup elsewhere, but it was made with chicken stock. I asked about the stock of the beer cheese soup and was told it was vegetable. The server didn't even have to go back and ask (Sometimes servers don't know what I mean by "stock," tell me that the soup is vegetarian, inquire in the kitchen and tell me there's chicken in the soup after all. SURPRISE! This is why I ask). I double-checked with a double-ask (squinty eyes, a raised eyebrow and a skeptical-sounding voice: "Are you *sure* there's *no* chicken in it?"). All my friends find this double-asking quite comical, but it's all I've got. The answer: It's vegetarian and from a vegetable stock. Thanks, Schlafly, for educating your servers. Forgive me my skepticism, but I've been burned elsewhere. The delicious beer cheese soup was ordered and devoured upon arrival. It'll be my standard order at Schlafly. This meal was so long ago that I don't remember whether I had the cup and something else or just a bowl for my lunch. If I had my standard grilled cheese, it wasn't memorable. Bottom line: Schlafly is cool. I recommend the beer cheese soup. read more

Let's start off by saying I absolutely LOVE Schlafly beer! I will drink it over any other beer nowadays. However, Schlafly Bottleworks has a couple minor details to work on. Cons - No wait service in the bar area. You must go to the bar to order everything and the 1 food runner/buser was not good at all about coming and cleaning off dirty dishes from the tables. I carried most of our dirty plates away myself b/c we ran out of room on the table. Yuck! Let's work on the service aspect guys. - The food is not that great. I would give the food 2.5 stars after multiple visits. Pros - Awesome atmosphere. The bartender got up and sang a song with the band. Pretty laid back and friendly all around. - Kick ass, huge patio/beer garden in the summer, and they have live bands out there too. Always a fun time! - They host multiple beer festivals throughout the year. - Obviously, fantastic locally made micro brews. Pumpkin Ale, Oktoberfest, and Summer lager seasonals are my favorites! Overall, I LOVE SCHLAFLY. The end. read more

I love Schlafly so it pains me to give only 3 stars. The food is usually great but Friday night something was off. Pretzel Crusted chicken was really dry, burger over cooked, pork chop nothing to write home about. Of course the beer is always good. We sat outside in the covered patio. Beware, it is really noisy because there is nothing to absorb the sound. Lots of echoes and it is hard to hear. I would sit inside next time. Service was fine. I just wish they would have put more care in the food. I usually have a great experience and will return soon. read more

The pumpkin beer is to die for! I was never a beer person so when I do drink a glass, it has to be exquisite. And they surpassed my expectations. The food was not offensive, but also not to rave about. They specialize in beer and they're good at it. read more

Had a chance to do the Brewery tour! Very informative, got a chance to learn a bit about brewing history in St. Louis, and got a much smaller, scaled down, more personal version of the A-B tour. Oh, and at the end, you're going to get a minimum of 5 pours of samples. I was driving, so I had to leave it to my friend to do the drinking for both of us. Tours are Fri-Sun, from 12-5, every hour on the hour...be there 15 minutes ahead of time and wear close-toed shoes (if you forget, there's a bunch of crocs there for you, but it's like bowling shoes, you know? :-) Oh, and of course the tours are free. read more

Schlafly is always a fun place with a great atmosphere and with hops in the air. Today we went to Bottleworks for the Farmers Market and Art Fair they were having this past weekend on December 6th. The fair its self was a little smaller then what we had expected. It was still a lot of fun and had great vendors. I ended up with a bunch of vegetables. I got spinach, green onions, tomatoes, shiitake mushrooms and some truffle butter. I love buying fresh produce from the farmers. It so fresh and last so much longer and I can really taste a difference. We of course had to sit at the bar after are quick shopping experience at the fair. I had to get the hard apple cider I just love me some cider beers. Especially hard cider, Schlafly is the reason I started drinking ciders back in the day. I ended up buying the beer jugs just so I could load it up and take it home. I also got the biscuit and gravy. Let me tell you something..... the BISCUITS and GRAVY is AMAZING!!!. I just love how savory it was and the biscuits are so fluffy and soak up that gravy. It was fantastic!! read more

For the tour only, which takes about an hour. This is one great tour! The brewery is small, but our docent knew every nook and cranny. She fielded all questions ably. The tasting at the end was informative and delicious. If you don't have closed toed shoes for the tour, they let you use a pair of crocs. Plenty of stuff to buy in the gift shop, including bike jerseys. And of course, a full array of beer to go! We brought a case back to Ohio to impress our neglected friends. We didn't go to the restaurant, but I hear it is worth a stop. Tip top on the cleanliness of everything we saw. read more

We decided to stop here before heading downtown to Garth Brooks and we had a great time! We sat in the dining room with a reservation as we were not sure how crowded it would be. There wasn't hardly anyone there except for us in that area but the bar area was hopping. The menu didn't have a lot but enough for everyone in our group to find something. My husband got a flight and enjoyed each of the samples. I ordered their pizza and a caesar salad and it was enough to share with the table. Everyone else ordered burgers and fries and we had no problems with any of the order. Only complaint I have is that I'm not a huge beer person, I'm usually the DD and they have specialty sodas, not your traditional coke or pepsi so heads up on that. Service is slow. Takes them awhile to get to you once you're seated. Takes them awhile to bring you anything you might need if you catch them. Takes them awhile to bring your check but once you give them a CC, your check is immediately back with you. So if you visit plan to have extra time for that. read more

There's a new King of Beer in St. Louis. Schlafly has been bringing great joy to craft beer fans for over twenty years, and St. Louis is thankful to have such a wonderful company to reflect the true measure of our city's impact on the beer industry. It doesn't seem all that long ago since Schlafly graduated into the Bottleworks, opening in the spring of 2003, but a world without Schlafly Pale Ale in a bottle is unfathomable now. Many of this company's great beers have been available in the bottle almost as long as I've been of legal drinking age. And where to begin with the beer?! I applaud all the local breweries for trying their hand at craft beer, but no one has done it as well as Schlafly. Honestly, the flagship beer, the Pale Ale, is quality, but it pales in comparison to many of their other offerings. On Saturday, I had the Winter ESB, one of my favorite seasonals. However, if I could turn back the clock, I would still be drinking the fall's Oktoberfest or the Summer Lager! I will include a few other suggestions at the end. The Bottleworks doesn't try to appeal to just any group of drinkers. What they try to accomplish there is quite universal. Hipsters, frat boys, beer snobs, and normies unite! Schlafly's main goal is simple: create an environment where patrons can enjoy great craft beer, good food, and live music. There's always something going down at the Bottleworks, whether it's a festival or great bands. I can't recall a dull or unrewarding moment at this establishment. They do a great job of taking care of their patrons. Patronizing either Schlafly establishments is patronizing St. Louis. It has replaced Budweiser as the true representative of what this city is all about. Happy early 21st birthday, Schlafly! Here's to another 21! Suggestions: Hefeweizen, Kolsch, Oatmeal Stout, Tasmanian IPA (limited batch), Coffee Stout (Winter Batch) read more

Schlafly... Bottleworks, baby... marry me. I'm on one knee. The highly informative free tours (with a wonderful tasting and teaching session!). The awesome people. The store. The digs. Cozy but spacious. Neat memorabilia, history. Great service. When do you go on a walking tour and end up wanting to apply for a job involving Petri dishes and/or plastic goggles? When you come here. And the drinks? the food? UUUNH. The gnocchi, the pizza, the sammies, the desserts ... these are all pretty tasty. But you have to get those pretzels and the Hefeweisen cheese sauce. Have to have to have to. The pretzel encrusted chicken is a very pleasant surprise too. And the ciders, the beer. Oh, the beer. While I'm a big fan of the pale ale, APA, IPA, oatmeal and coffee stouts, I happen to have a gigantic alchie boner (excuse my crudeness) for the scotch ale. There's plenty of parking, it's pretty easy to get to, there's a Church's right across the street, prices are very fair, and tours happen often. If you're looking to explore St Louis a bit, I recommend heading to A-B, taking their free tour, driving over to Bottleworks, and ending with some Church's if you want a stingy and highly fulfilling time. No drinking and driving though, of course. .. Did I mention they do brunch? Oh Schlafly.. nobody treats me quite like you do. read more

The beer here is great, the food here is pretty average. The wait times on the weekend are super long, even around 8 or 8:30. They have live music, which is fun, but you can't really hear it from the covered patio. I shared a taster which is 5 beers for $11. I like that they are always rotating the beers. The coffee stout and double bean blonde were both excellent; we also had the grapefruit IPA, the white lager, AND the Expo IPA, all of which were okay. They were out of the Mexican chocolate stout which was a bummer. The service was pretty slow - they were terrible with filling waters. The pretzels are excellent, buttery goodness. I also shared the apple bacon pizza and it was good, but the apple chunks were too large and it made the pizza soggy. read more
